I'm 51 years old and new to meditation. I've given birth to 5 children, and theres no way I can meditate without leaning my back slightly on some pillows. I'm sitting crosslegged, which works fine for me when sitting on my bed - and a pillow in my back. I think my spine is hold just fine. Is it okay to lean my back up a pillow, not to sit extremely uncomfortable? Btw - I began meditating because I found your awesome podcasts Hello.

If music helps you meditate, why not use it? There are, of course, different kinds of meditation and some kinds may be better without music, but there's no rule about this that applies to all situations.

If you want to use the guided meditations on our website (on the Listen to Our Podcast page), it's fine to be lying down. Erwin, this really depends on the style of meditation you are doing.

I learned to meditate long before there were CDs with binaural beats, isochronic tones, etc. and discovered how easy it can be to slip into a meditative state naturally. My personal preference is always to go with what's "natural". Edward — Thanks for sharing your experience.

Meditation music may not be for everyone but it seems to help motivate me.
